There is no such thing as allowing anything "by proxy." If there isn't a law prohibiting something, that something is legal. "Proxy" doesn't enter into the discussion.

On the other hand, Ohio didn't allow concealed carry. The Ohio Supreme Court ruled that the state constitution specifically enumerated a
